Halloysite - Wikipedia
WEBHalloysite is an aluminosilicate clay mineral with the empirical formula Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4. Its main constituents are oxygen (55.78%), silicon (21.76%), aluminium (20.90%), and hydrogen (1.56%).
Halloysite | Formula, Properties & Application
WEBHalloysite is a naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay mineral of the kaolin group, recognized for its distinctive tubular morphology. It is a layered silicate mineral with a similar structure to kaolinite but with a different hydration state and shape.
Halloysite - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBHalloysite is usually found in soils formed from volcanic deposits, particularly volcanic ash and glass. It is a common clay mineral in the Andisol soil order. Halloysite forms early in the weathering process but it is generally less stable than kaolinite and gives way to kaolinite with time.
Halloysite
WEBHalloysite is an uncommon hydrous silicate and is a member of the Serpentine Group. It is very rare from the Type Locality in Belgium. This is a solid white, earthy-clayey mass of the species. The name halloysite stands for the two grandfathered and distinct species, halloysite-10A (hydrated halloysite) or halloysite-7A (dehydrated halloysite). ...
